You are right ! I have my 2023 which I waited 480 days for, and I am keeping it till the wheels fall off say in 15+ years. Unless it rust out like the Ford Pinto once owned.
Rusted out or ended up as a ball of flames...

Hey, some old guy out here still has his. A country squire too.
I always liked the Pinto station wagon.

How legit would Mexico change if we did tariffs on them? Like collapsing overnight or something? I’m not sure how important we are to them.
They get paid like 8 dollars a day at ford right? Doesn’t seem like much
I wonder how Ford is able to pay them so little? The minimum wage in the northern border free trade zone is $20.57 per day and the average wage of Mx auto workers in 2024 was $3.70/hr.

Would their economy collapse overnight? No. It takes about 2 years from the start date of a catastrophic event until the effects are felt throughout the economy. But, if fully implemented, these tariffs would likely cause 10%+ contraction of the Mx economy, which would be worse than the 2008 recession.

Totally unrelated question. Anyone know if there is a maximum number of forum members that can be on an “ignore” list?
